How it works
From blank canvas to first sale — without the overhead
Three steps. No printer, no packing tape, no purchase orders. You design; the marketplace does the rest.
01
Upload your design
Drop in your artwork, pick your blanks, set your markup. No sample orders, no inventory, no listing fees. Your studio is live in minutes.
02
We route the order
When someone buys, a vetted supplier is matched automatically to print, pack and ship under your brand — you never touch a garment.
03
You get paid
Suppliers and shipping are settled behind the scenes. Your margin lands in your account on every sale, tracked to the cent.

For creators
Built to pay independent designers what they're worth
Everything a horizontal marketplace forgot to build — because they were busy selling mugs.
Zero upfront cost
List as many designs as you want for free. We only earn when you earn — no subscriptions holding your art hostage.
Hands-off fulfillment
Curated apparel suppliers handle printing, packing and shipping automatically. Focus on the craft, not the logistics.
Real designer brand pages
A storefront that looks like yours — not a lost listing in an endless grid. Your name on the label, your story on the page.
Discovery that surfaces you
Curation and a single-vertical catalog mean your work is actually found, not buried under millions of unrelated products.
Transparent margins
See base cost, your markup and your take-home before you publish. No mystery math, no surprise deductions.
Founder take-rate
Early designers lock in a preferential rate for life. Get in before launch and keep more of every sale, forever.

The niche
Not an everything-store. We dominate one category.
Redbubble, Printify and Zazzle spread themselves across hundreds of product types and millions of undifferentiated listings. Zerobase owns a single vertical — independent apparel — and builds every feature around it.

“I made more in my first month on Zerobase than a year of being listing #4,000,000 somewhere else. It finally feels like my brand, not their catalog.”

FAQ
Questions, answered
Everything you need before joining the founding waitlist.
We're a focused print-on-demand marketplace for independent apparel designers — tees, hoodies, caps and cut-and-sew wearable art. We deliberately don't do mugs, phone cases and stickers. One vertical, done exceptionally well.
Nothing. Zero listing fees, zero monthly minimum, zero inventory. You upload your design, set your margin, and we only make money when you make a sale.
When a customer orders, a vetted third-party supplier prints, packs and ships automatically under your storefront. You never touch a garment or a shipping label — you focus entirely on the design.
You set your own markup on top of the base cost. On a typical ~$28 order, Zerobase keeps a small blended take-rate on the markup to cover the platform and supplier coordination — the rest is yours, paid out automatically.
Those platforms spread across hundreds of product types and millions of undifferentiated listings. Zerobase owns one vertical — independent apparel — with curated suppliers, real brand pages for designers, and discovery that actually surfaces your work instead of burying it.
We're onboarding founding designers in waves. Join the waitlist and pick “I'm a creator” to jump the queue for early studio access and a locked-in founder take-rate.
